And sorry about the beginning, they'll have more lovey dovey parts its just I needed to get this out to show you that in the past they weren't really together but... you know... Max will become more lovable :) promise. Their relationship will grow A LOT I guess you could say I'm doing the relationship stuff backwards)
That night I didn't sleep alone, I didn't sleep in a closet, I didn't sleep on a roof, I didn't sleep in a tree. That night I didn't wake because of a shuffle I heard, that night I didn't scavenge any rotting food. I didn't do anything I did in the past year. That night I slept strait through the night, I ate a full meal, I slept in a queen sized bed, and I didn't sleep alone.
The next morning I woke up, blankets wrapped around me and a body pressed up against mine. What...I looked behind me to only find the sort black hair I expected and those dark mysterious eyes I always get lost in already open looking into my own brown ones" What?" I simply stated.
" I just almost forgot how beautiful you were."he smiled
" Oh. Shut your mouth you corny poptart." I laughed out rolling over to look him straight in the eyes. It's weird, I feel like I've changed since the bite, and not in the way I should change. I feel better, my eye sight feels sharper, my mind feels powerful if that doesn't sound crazy, I feel MUCH stronger, my hearing is insane because right now I hear everyone's heart beat in the house, and I'm healing all to fast my bite is practically gone. "Fang" I was serious" You know I shouldn't be here, in this bed wit you. You know we shouldn't have done what we did last night."I said softly. He wrapped his arms around my skinny body.
" I know. But I couldn't help myself from parting from you again and make you sleep in basement. It was almost if I did let you do that it would break me."
"I still need to go Fang"
"No. You said three days. Its only been one." he refused.
" But I can't keep you in danger anymore. I thought I could last three days, but I can't. I have to go." I said getting up from the bed putting my clothes back on." You have to leave to Fang. This place will be found by them, and you know it. I can see it in your eyes." I said pulling my jeans on" Its not safe, this place probably smells like a Chinese buffet for miles now. I'm surprised the dead haven't found it yet, and with this many people it's gonna be a full course meal here in a day or two." I stated wile grabbing my gun from under my pillow.
" When did you put that there." Fang ask confused" I don't remember that being there."
" I put it there last night, just in case I or you needed it. Its a habit of 'er changing the subject anyway. Avoiding anything that's bad." he sat up letting the blankets fall to his hips exposing his strong built torso. I couldn't resist watching. He looks so much older now even though its only been a year. Hes shed off that innocent look he had and replaced it with only that of a man.
I look back at his eyes only to see a tiny glimmer of hope in them, pleading for me to stay." Fang I need to go, you need to go to." my face went cold hoping he would get he seriousness of the situation." We aren't kids like we used to be a year ago. Its different now and you know it." I threw my shirt on and stuck my gun in the back of my jeans. I had gotten a new pair of clothes thanks to one of the girls in Fang's group, instead of wear my old blood stained clothes I wore a pair of dark jeans with a regular grey t-shirt and a black sweatshirt ( /casual/set?id=62083219). I started to look around from the black combat boots the girl had given to me when I heard a slight shuffle and moan. My body went ridged and stood straight up trying to comprehend where the noise came from." Fang" I whispered "did you hear that?"
" Hear what." He grumbled out, clearly pissed off at me for leaving and not listening to him" and why are you whispe-"
" Shhh" I cut him off. I listened much more carefully for the sound once more, but came up with nothing.I turned around towards the door only to find the boots right there next to the door. " Like I said Fang." I demanded as I sat down and slipped on the boots " you need to get out of here. Their coming soon, its almost like I can feel them." I mumbled to my self. I stood up , opened the door, but just as I was about to exit the door I heard the sound again along with a second one. I looked over to Fang to see him getting his clothes on. Three more moans came before I said anything.
" You OK over there, Max?" Fang rang out.
" You don't hear that." five more moans came.
" Hear what?"
" The moans and shuffles." Fang looked puzzled. I ran over to the window and opened the curtains fast letting the sunlight blind me for a bit.
" SAM! What are you, crazy. Trying to blind me " Fang exclaimed. I didn't answer back.
I as my eyes started to adjust to the sunlight I could see and hear more and more limping figures on the horizon. " We need to go."
" What do you mean?" Jesse said looking out through the window. He didn't sound panicked at all.
" Do you not see that or hear that." I pointed to the heard or zombies making their way over to the house. The sound growing as if there in he room with me.
" I don't see or hear anything. Except grass and you going crazy." Fang took a step back.
" What?" I asked irritated. He took another one.
" Max. Your eyes."he sounded scared. I walked over to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. My eyes had changed from a dark brown to a pure white . I took a step back and looked again with the noise of the moans and shuffles growing more and more and each look at my eyes never changing...
